ANALYSIS OF THE STATUS OF SECURITY ENSUREMENT OF HYDROTECHNICAL STRUCTURES

Abstract

The paper analyzes the state of ensuring the safety of hydroelectric power plants (HAPP) in the conditions of man-made or natural emergency situations. The main components and systems of hydrotechnical structures are highlighted, including reservoirs, water pipes, hydro turbines and generators, transformers, pumps, auxiliary equipment, control and automation systems, engineering structures that ensure the stability and reliability of HPPs during their operation and in emergency situations. Special attention was paid to the analysis of the modes of operation of automated systems for early detection of the threat of emergency situations and population notification (ASRVO). It was determined that the main goal of ASRVO is the timely detection of signs of a potential emergency situation, such as fires, natural disasters, man-made accidents or military threats, in order to minimize risks for the population and ensure effective evacuation measures. ASRVO functions in two key modes: pre-emergency and emergency. Pre-emergency mode allows you to prepare for possible emergency situations and prevent them, while emergency mode ensures a quick and effective response in the event of accidents. Recommendations were made on improving safety measures and risk management at the gas power plant, related to the modernization of ASRVO, increasing the level of stability of structures, constantly updating evacuation plans, conducting training for staff and the local population, strengthening preventive maintenance, applying innovative monitoring technologies, improving management systems risks. The article also emphasizes the importance of further research in the direction of developing more integrated and adaptive approaches to ensuring the stability of the main structural elements of critical infrastructure objects in conditions of increased risk.
